By Ballet 180 School April 12, 2024

Looking to introduce your tiny dancer to ballet and dance? Have an eager pre-teen ready to strut his or her stuff? Look no further than Ballet 180 School's summer dance camp and intensive program. A multi-year award winning dance school, Ballet 180 School provides top-notch training for preschoolers to professionals. The school’s unique focus on building community and spreading kindness through the art of dance enables its students to reach their greatest potential in dance and in all areas of life. Whether a new dancer or a seasoned student, Ballet 180 School's summer program will build skills and confidence in a fun and engaging environment.


Dance Camps (ages 3-7) 

Our fun and creative summer dance camps build special memories for years to come! Each camp includes dancing, story time, crafts and games! An informal performance will be held for parents at the end of each camp. Dancers will be divided into groups on the first day of camp so that they are placed in an appropriate class level for the duration of the camp.

What should I wear and bring to camp?
For summer camps, dancers should wear clothes in which they can move freely. Dance attire is welcome, but not required. If a student wishes to wear dance attire, we recommend referring to our School Handbook so that you are able to purchase the uniform that will be used for the upcoming school year. Street shoes are not allowed on our dance floors, so if your dancer does not have dance shoes, socks are best. Dancers should bring a water bottle and a healthy snack that is easy to eat quickly and not too messy. Due to allergies amongst some of our students, we ask that any food brought to camp does not include peanuts.
